# Introduction
|
|
|
|
This documentation describes a self-hosted, Docker-based media automation stack that handles everything from user requests to content playback, fully integrated with Jellyfin as the central media server.
|
|
|
|
The stack includes download automation (Usenet), metadata scraping, transcoding, user interface for media requests, monitoring, and search. Everything is containerized and orchestrated with Docker Compose.
